Ever Consider College Seminary? An endowment in the name of St. Mary Church earned about $1700 last
year. The endowment is restricted to assisting a member of St. Mary parish who is studying for the
priesthood. In the diocese of Columbus, seminarians are responsible for
their own college education. The diocese picks up the bills once a
seminarian finishes college and enters into the last four years of preparation
for priesthood. Call Father Thomas if you would like to discuss
priesthood.
